Re: to identify exe name
Programs can be installed in several ways.
A popular way is to use a "xxxxx.inf" file. It contains pieces of information about the installation. It has to respect rules established by MS in order to be used by the install/uninstall APIs of Windows.
So, I advise you to look for documentations about ".inf" files. But this is not a very simple subject, and sometimes softwares are installed without an ".inf" file. Good luck to you.

That list can currently be found in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
However I'm pretty sure that this location could change in a future Windows release.
